This is just political red tape, as was mentioned before. I would say the company is proactive, 2 examples:

1) already having the drill contractor chosen and waiting

2) by staking these new claims well in advance of any news that would have drawn more attention to the area.

I would also like to ask the board why they would get a second more advanced survey done, when they already knew where to drill from the first Titan? This may be another proactive example.

And my apologies to Silverback and the board, if i appeared rude, that was not my intent. I was just trying to open both ends of a discussion but realize now that i may have went about it the wrong way. I like for people to say whats on their minds and show their side of something. I dont mind being wrong, and when proven so, i learn a lot from that and will admit when im wrong. This board has had great discussions lately and is giving investors a better grasp on just what they have in SLI. Having said that, I dont like to see people being oblivious and losing money, hence, the needed discussions of GOOD and BAD about OUR company.
